I notice you didn't say "Real Men"  (good guys)  don't wear purple.  Didn't
even include whirlybird pilots or people who scoff at other peoples spelling
either.  

I notice that Terry Nish doesn't have a purple driving suit even though he
is sponsored by Royal Purple.  He was showing off his new CarbonX suit at
the last USFRA meeting.  The color is basic black.  Seems he values his hide
more than he wants to cater to his sponsor.

How would we have made it through the off-season without Keith to pick on?

Are you running at Ely in May?  I'm hoping to connect with some potential
Bonneville racers then.
